This really should have been reconsidered. Unless you have four sims, you can't have four chairs at the table, otherwise your sims are getting up and switching seats constantly. Also, if one family member is eating, but another isn't, that eating family member will constantly get up and take their plate to multi-task. I would honestly prefer if they just sat down and finished their food. Eating as it is in the Sims games takes an abnormally long period of time and with the sims constantly moving and going to other chairs, or other parts of the house, this extends the process unnecessarily.
When sims are eating, they should just stay put.

Sim 1 wants to start a chat (or something else) with Sim 2 (which sits at the same table) and this somehow triggers the behavior, that Sim 1 gets up and gets to another place at the same table, next to the Sim he wants to chat with.
Which, of cause, is somehow nonsense as, sitting at the same table, both Sims would be perfectly able to chat with each other without anyone changing chairs.
Perhaps the Gurus can decrease the likelyhood of this happening (after all it must be somehow included in their petri net of behavior transitions and perhaps it just need a conditions (like: "If Sim and Chat-Target sit at the same table, stay seated")

I get that multitasking is a big new thing, and I appreciate it in most situations, but when it comes to eating, Sims really do just need to stay put.

Oh hey. That suggests this: IRL (in which I do not own a dishwasher), we have a bin on the counter to stash dirty dishes in. We do the dishes when it (and usually the counter next to it) fill up. I'd love that for my Sims. I could tell Sim Kid #1 to clear the dishes, and Sim Kid #2 to wash them.
